Justine Beath Sitting Out 2017 CrossFit Games Season

Last year Justine Beath finished 4th at the Australia Regional to qualify for her first trip to the CrossFit Games. Beath would end up placing 38th when it was all said and done in Carson.

After looking at the 17.1 results, Beath’s name was absent the rankings. In fact, two weeks ago Beath told her Instagram fans in post that she would be sitting out of the 2017 season. She cites the physical, mental and emotional toll that the Games had taken on her. After several injuries this past off-season, Beath made the difficult decision to take a year off.

Her focus is now “balancing my health, relationships, my coaching and helping others and as an athlete fixing my body and movement and actually enjoying CrossFit workouts again – pain free.” Beath’s sight is set to come back in 2018 and make another run at the Games.
